A few times, Paula and I have made a Mexican meal of my killer enchiladas, salsa, Spanish rice, tortilla chips and poppers. Then we serve it all up on a set of Mexican dishes that we purchased at Kohles. It looks very impressive! We've even taken pictures of it. Too bad that I don't know how to size pictures so that I could post it on here (if I even knew where those photos are now). Another time, I made tamales in corn husks along with both red and green salsa from scratch. It turned out great but was a little too much work for me to want to repeat it.

Another thing that we go all out on is Thanksgiving dinner, with the china closet dishes and all. Paula makes killer deviled eggs. She very patiently decorates each and every one, carefully placing the paprika, olives slice, and parsley on the top of each one. Then each egg is placed in a deviled egg dish, with a fancy lettuce leaf under each egg. They are truly a work of art. She was around three when she first started helping to make deviled eggs and now she's a master at it, doing it from start to finish. We do boil them though and let them cool. The job is hers from that point on.
